Commercial Revenue Generating properties like office buildings, apartment buildings, retail centers, etc (banks call it "CRE" lending) are typically evaluated from their net operating income, not gross.

I assume a higher upfront cost as far as land purchase and the actual build but you would have a brand new house, instant equity and hopefully maintenance free for quite a while.

Hi, new here. i just finished building my first spec homes out in granbury tx and was looking to buy a few more lots around dfw metroplex.

I'm in Columbus Ohio and we ahve to build the same floorplan over and over and it's a group heard mentality. we build a three story walk up triplex designed for our infill lots

They're very autonomous and don't communicate too much which doesn't demand much of your time. 

Continually communicate clearly with all parties involved to make sure that expectations are as close to realistic timelines as possible.

@Kyle CarterAsk about their communication style, does it fit with yours? 

Im currently networking to partner up with a home builder here in Staten Island and build Semis on empty land.

lol it was a lot of communication and laying out upfront what we wanted/needed from the deal and then making sure it was all written out in the paperwork.

Absolutely no communication.
